Are my eyes deceiving me or is this turkey egg fertilized?!? If so, what would be my next steps if I want to hatch any eggs?

I've got three turkeys that I got last year with the intention of butchering. We butchered one around thanksgiving but haven't gotten around the last three.Yep, looks fertile.
Have any Toms, or hormone crazed roosters?
What breeds?I've got three turkeys that I got last year with the intention of butchering. We butchered one around thanksgiving but haven't gotten around the last three.
One of them is a tom and the other two just started laying this week. I hadn't been positive that he was a tom until recently since he never really exhibited the tom-like behavior that my first tom did. I only really noticed recently that his snood was bigger and his face had more color in it than the other two. This is my first year with turkeys so I am pretty inexperienced with them lol.

They are supposed to be broad-breasted bronze (the tom and one hen) and a broad-breasted white. That's why I was so surprised that the eggs are fertilized since I've heard it can be hard for the broad-breasted turkeys to mate. They haven't gotten as big and fat as I thought they would, and they have been eating a ton of food.What breeds?
The other tom must be a late bloomer.

Do you know if I would be able to put an egg or two under one of my broody hens? I've got two chicken hens that are broody (one just went broody a few days ago).
